Art Deco Ruba Rombic Modernistic Style Cubist Frosted Glass Vase
About the Item
1920s Frosted Glass Cubist Vase – In the Style of Ruba Rombic and Kopp Modernistic, with Original “Chypre” Label
This striking frosted glass vase, dating to the late 1920s, is a bold and evocative example of the cubist-inspired modernistic glass design movement that flourished in the United States between the two World Wars. Molded in an angular geometric form, the vase recalls the celebrated work of Consolidated Glass Company's Ruba Rombic line and Kopp Glass’s Modernistic series—both icons of American Art Deco and Cubist Revival design.
The vase’s sharp planes and faceted surface embody the essence of cubism in decorative arts, embracing a sculptural, deconstructed aesthetic that was revolutionary in its time. The glass is finished in a soft frosted translucence, allowing light to interact beautifully with its bold form. An original paper label reading “Chypre” remains on the underside—a rare surviving detail that offers further historic value and identification, possibly alluding to a perfume or decorative glass line of the era.
While this piece does show its age—with chips along the rim, corners, and sides, minor discoloration, and general wear consistent with nearly a century of life—there are no cracks, and the vase remains structurally sound and visually compelling. It stands as a rare and important survivor of early American modernist glass.
Historical Context:
Ruba Rombic, designed by Reuben Haley for the Consolidated Glass Company, was introduced in 1928 and is considered one of the most innovative and daring examples of American Art Deco glass. Inspired by the avant-garde art movements of the early 20th century, it featured deeply angular, fragmented forms that paralleled the emerging cubist and futurist aesthetics in Europe. Similarly, Kopp Modernistic glass, produced in the 1930s by Kopp Glass, embraced these radical shapes and played a critical role in architectural and industrial design trends of the period.
This vase, in the style of these visionary lines, reflects the fascination with abstraction and geometry that defined the Machine Age and the evolution of design in the 1920s and ’30s. Pieces like this are increasingly rare and highly sought-after by collectors of Art Deco, cubist, and early modern American design.
